IMPORTANT: This remote control has been specially engineered to take an air temperature sample ev- ery 5.5 minutes in the auto mode. It will not respond immediately to the temperature setting being turned up or down.

IMPORTANT: The hand-held re- mote control unit must be near the heater. Do not keep the hand-held remote control unit too close to the heater. The thermostat on the hand-held remote control unit will heat up too quickly and turn the heater off.

INSPECTING

BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 24 shows a correct pilot flame pat- tern. Figure 25 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not properly heating the thermocouple. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25

•turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 15)

•seeTroubleshooting, pages 17 through 19

BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES

Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the fitting at the burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.

MAIN BURNER

Figure 23 - Thermostat Hand-Held Remote Control Unit Selections (GHRCT Series only)

Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should be open with yellow flame present. All round burner flame holes should be open with a small blue flame present. Some burner flame holes may be- come blocked by debris or rust, with no flame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Either remove blockage or replace burner. Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.
